 * Delete Google doesn't appear to provide any reliable secondary sources to support notablity. Does having your record played by a few big name DJs make you notable? (even if it did it would still need to be proved that they had played the records)
 * Weak delete or stubbify. Article is certainly promotional as is, and most of the copy should go. Chart-toppers would be a reasonable claim to notability. But like 3tmx, I can't find any sources to verify most of this. The albums do seem to exist, but not knowing the house scene, I can't tell whether they are big hits or vanity releases.

 * Comment I think i'd tend to say that having your record played by a big dj doesn't make you notable . I'm into electro/house and I've never heard of him. 22:23, 3 September 2007 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 3tmx (talk • contribs)


 * Comment I'm pretty sure this person is non notable. He may become notable in the future but he's not now so i'd still say delete and if he does . I did a search of music blog sites (i.e. people talking about new music they're into- often obscure underground stuff) - and nothing. 3tmx 22:33, 3 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Comment the person who added this article obviously did not fully understand the submission guidelines, like myself, because we are new to the site. certain parts of this article should be modified to be more in line with wikipedia criteria, but should not be deleted entirely. FIlter Freq is a very notable artist in house music with over 20 vinyl released distrubted by everyone from sole unliimted to unique uk in 2005/2006 and his label Kontrast Recordings is notable aswell with some of the most popular artists in house music on the label. You can view the websites for more info www.filterfreq.com and www.kontrastrecordings.com - many far less notable musicians are listed here. From what I understand, maybe a stub article would work aswell. google - "filter freq" kontrast without the brackets for more info on chartings, where his music is sold, forums talking obaut his music, etc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Supernova21 (talk • contribs) 01:54, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Since you are more familiar with the scene, could you dig up some more evidence of this? Generally we don't give forums much weight, as they aren't reliable sources. For example: Who's the Billboard of the House world? What magazines cover it best, and where do they say that Filter Freq is a notable artist? Remember that "the threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth" (from WP:V), so it's not enough for what we write to be true. Readers must be able to verify for themselves that it's true. William Pietri 12:20, 4 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Comment My nomination for deletion is not based on notability as much as the fact that is pure self promotion, posted by the subject's record label or the subject himself. Wording like "to critical acclaim & play from DJs like..." make this article read like yer typical dance industry press release, in fact it is probably copied from just such a press release. IMO the article could stay if significantly trimmed. Jvhertum 12:26, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,


 * Delete Two Google searches turned up less than 15 hits. Whatever he's doing, no one seems to be talking about it on the web. I understand not getting written up in the NY Times, but I'd expect some Intergoogle love. MarkBul 20:15, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:MUSIC. Chart "hit" is from an unimportant website instead of recognized souce like Billboard or even an established dance music magazine. Precious Roy 09:33, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
